Hibs closing on Ali Crawford signing?

According to media reports, Hibs are clsoing in on the signing of Hamilton Accies midfielder Ali Crawford.

The 26-year-old is out-of-contract this summer, and Hibs boss Neil Lennon has apparently identified the midfield dynamo as a transfer window signing.

Crawford, could of course, sign a pre-contract now and be a Hibee when summer comes.

He has made over 270 appearances for the Accies, scoring 37 goals, after he broke through the club's much celebrated youth academy, which has produced the likes of James McArthur and James McCarthy in the past.

Lennon will be looking at his options, with the futures of John McGinn, Dylan McGeouch and Scott Allan up in the air this summer.
